Original, candid. The William Francis Jacobs Collection photographs were passed from Joseph Warren Jacobs [1868-1947] and his wife, Mary Emma Dulaney [1878-1958], to their son William Francis Jacobs and his wife, Audrey Muriel Lamb, to their son David Kent Jacobs who owned and shared the photographs with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Photo Archives Project in 2006. Each generation added to the collection with photographs from their own family and in-laws.
